Usually on #TravelTuesday I’m posting a travel deal, but this week, I’m sending you a link to a video by an American Airlines employee who is voicing his (her?) opinions about recent happenings at American Airlines.

Feeling the Fire

Published on 2012-02-06 11:51:52

In recent weeks I’ve been mulling over the fact that I’ve been single for just over 2 years now. At first, I didn’t care. I was moving on with my life and starting over. Things were happening, good things, that were time consuming and took a lot of my effort so I didn’t have the [...]

Around LA: The Detox Market

Published on 2012-02-01 01:01:21

Just the word detox puts me in mind of a very sterile, clinical, medical type of establishment.

Out of Chicken, Why didn’t you tell me?

Published on 2012-01-23 15:28:02

It’s no secret if you read my blog on occasion that I usually only work First Class at my airline. Every now and then I’ll pick up a flight in the maincabin to switch things up and take a break. I know, now you’re thinking — a break? from what? Dealing with a smaller group [...]

Exit Seats, Can they go Empty?

Published on 2012-01-13 02:27:51

I flew on XXXXXX recently on a round trip SFO to ORD. It is a beautiful airline, but I think it has a terrible safety problem. I was disturbed to see that wing exit rows are going completely empty due to the fact that these are now seat upgrades and, I guess due to the [...]
